Residents of Waukesha should be prepared for a noticeable change in the scent and appearance of their water next week as the city transitions to Lake Michigan water.
Mayor Shawn Reilly has advised the community that this transition may result in some temporary issues.
According to Mayor Reilly, residents might detect an unusual odor and observe a reddish tint in their water supply.
These changes are attributed to the alteration in water pressure, which has the potential to agitate sediment within the pipes.
The mayor reassures residents that these alterations in color and odor should resolve themselves relatively quickly.
However, he suggests that individuals might want to delay doing laundry until the situation normalizes.
